Fixes dynamic string decoding in SCAPI

Corrects the dynamic string decoding logic to handle both null-terminated and length-prefixed strings correctly.

The previous implementation had issues with strings of bytes32 type,
and also did not correctly return the string data for cases where the data was present with an offset and length.

This change ensures accurate and reliable string retrieval from smart contracts.
